3 Nights Tongabezi Lodge

Tongabezi Lodge is a romantic hideaway on the banks of the Zambezi River just upstream of Victoria Falls. The Lodge offers a selection of houses and cottages, each beautifully furnished using local materials. Guests can dine beside the river or on their private terrace

As well as our open-fronted houses, we have five River Cottages overlooking the banks of the Zambezi.

Each has a large double bed or two singles, plus a mosquito net and ensuite bath and shower, along with indoor and outdoor areas where guests can dine under the stars or simply sit and enjoy the ever-changing river views.
Because the River Cottages are close-fronted with gauze netting in the windows, we find they are better suited to guests who feel nervous about sleeping “outdoors”, but still wish to listen to the sounds of the bush at night. A valet is assigned to each cottage at Tongabezi luxury lodge.Victoria Falls is nearby for spectacular viewing trips by boat or helicopter.

The Garden Cottage is ideal for a family or couple seeking luxury and privacy close to Victoria Falls. The house is hidden behind a private walled garden and set back from the river. It is the only one of our properties without views of the Zambezi. Beautifully designed and furnished using local materials, it is fitted with a luxury king-size bed and has a private living room with fireplace, an open-air sunken bath and an additional twin bedroom. Every room at Tongabezi has a valet assigned to them who will look after our guests throughout their stay.

Bird House / Tree House / Nut House / Dog House / Honeymoon House
Each of the 5 unique houses offer an open air sunken bath with private terrace for dining under the stars and spectacular views of the Zambezi River. Furnishings (using local materials) include king size 4 poster beds with mosiquito nets, offering open views of the Zambezi, a comfortable leather couch for relaxing during the day and a wooden deck with lounger chairs. Some of the houses enjoy their own private plunge pool.

Sindabezi Island is unique. An idyllic, exclusive camp on our very own private isle on the Zambezi River, it is the only luxury bush camp in the Victoria Falls region and in 2008 was selected by The Sunday Times in London as one of the best remote places to stay in the world.

Sindabezi has only five open-sided thatched cottages, allowing guests to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush in the perfect, pristine setting. Views across the flood plains of the Zambezi and into the nearby National Park complete the experience.

Many guests combine Sindabezi with a stay at their sister property, Tongabezi Lodge, a short boat ride away.
